What's going on at HolyOak Whips?

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a lovely woman who wanted to order a gift for her fiancee. She must love him a lot because she spared no expense. She wanted the best of everything.I was told to make it 8 feet long, 16 plait with a 12 inch handle base. Jennifer gave me a list of 10 colors and said I could use any or all of them I wanted and had complete creative freedom over the design. Also, there was no time crunch, so figure it out and have fun.WoW!! Are you kidding me? I may never get another chance to express myself like this again. I was super excited to do this project. I took a while to think about using all ten colors. I have done some patch work whips with every strand a different color and they do look cool... but the plaiting is lost in the sea of color distraction. I decided that, in this case, less would be more and settled on a 5 color pattern that would be both classy and surprising. As an artist, I am really inspired by what I see around me. The rock that I take the whip pictures by was found in a canyon next to my house and I carved an ammonite on it because fossils are everywhere here and I thought it was a little funny to carve one when you can pick them up off the ground.I was setting on the back porch thinking about whip colors and patterns and watching my flock of ravens fight over a pare of sunglasses that they has stolen from some poor tourist. I suddenly heard the peacocks go off in the the creek bottom and it hit me. A Peacock-Raven whip would be Amazing!! So with out further adieu.... here it is!

I love this whip so much! Not only is is beautiful, it is easy to crack and super loud.
